We cycle around the area of Ivalo, our trail goes trough the village, near by forests and in Ivalo river and its old riverbeds that the locals call “Vuopaja”. From our ready made tracks we can see some history of the village and how it developed around the Ivalo river. We see infrastructure how village survives flood periods and how locals move around the village area. We will have a stop for hot juice and some snack before finishing back to Xwander shop.
